Since the announcement of A Simple Favor 2‘s development in May 2022 and the confirmed returns of director Paul Feig and stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick as well as the confirmed production start date of Fall 2023, viewers have been curious about the upcoming film’s release date and when exactly will they get to see Emily Nelson and Stephanie Smothers return.
Here’s all the A Simple Favor 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there A Simple Favor 2 release date?
A Simple Favor 2 could likely arrive in late 2024 or early 2025. However, the film does not have an official release date set at the time of writing.
Production for A Simple Favor 2 is set to begin in Fall 2023. As the first film was filmed in 2017 and was then released in 2018, a late 2024 or early 2025 release date is the most likely.
However, due to the ongoing strikes by the Writer’s Guild of America and members of SAG AFTRA, it seems more and more possible that A Simple Favor 2 will not make its intended Fall 2023 production start date. Accordingly, fans could also expect a delayed release to mid-late 2025 or even early 2026.
These dates are an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
The story of A Simple Favor 2 will be set on the island of Capri in Italy. The film will bring back Blake Lively as Emily Nelson and Anna Kendrick as Stephanie Smothers. The duo will also be joined by Andrew Rannells, Linda Cardellini, Dustin Milligan, Jean Smart, and Rupert Friend, all of whom will also reprise their roles as Darren, Diana Hyland, Chris, Margaret McLanden, and Dennis Nylon, from the first film.
Where is A Simple Favor 2 coming out?
A Simple Favor 2 is anticipated to come out on Amazon Prime Video by late 2024 or early 2025. The film could also arrive as late as mid-late 2025 or early 2026 if the strikes complicate the production and lead to the film getting delayed.
At the moment, nothing is known about the plot of the film, aside from the fact that the film will be set in Capri Island, Italy. However, the story of the film could follow from where the first film left off, which saw Emily Nelson get sentenced to 20 years in prison after authorities learned that she was responsible for the murder of her estranged sister, Faith. The film could also explore Stephanie’s new career as a private eye who blogs about the mysteries she solves, an idea that was set up at the end of the first film.
